PAYMENT FOR PUTTING NAMES ON THE ROLL.
(to the editor.) Sie, —I reluctantly waste my time, also your columns, in replying to Kucha unit of those parsons— z/Lo v.'oro paid, but cot valued at, 20s per day by the Government to put names on the Electdtal Roll, who went to some residents, but others were ignored—signed, Edwin E. Morgan, Eahotu. He says: “If you want a Job done well employ persons who you can trust and pay them fairly.” Very good, E.8.M., I endorse that sld saying, but this E.E.M. did not go to all houses in this district. In tho same effusion Edwin E. Morgan tenders advice (he calls it). If he would practice it, it may bo of some value to himself. If any one would ask advice from such as E.R.M., although at his own price, would find it would have been hotter to have adhered to the old saying, viz., “Employ a man you can trust and pay him.” As for the cheek of him tendering advice to me, God forbjd that I should ever become such a manaic to do such a mad action as to accept such. He appears (what presumption) to pose as a Tooley Street tailor on behalf of those persons employed. As all of E.R.M.’s effusions contain bitterness, which does me no harm, it only shows his dispo-sition.-—I am, &c., G. W. Gane.
